Subject: CVE-2024-33619: efi: libstub: only free priv.runtime_map when allocated

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

efi: libstub: only free priv.runtime_map when allocated

priv.runtime_map is only allocated when efi_novamap is not set.
Otherwise, it is an uninitialized value.  In the error path, it is freed
unconditionally.  Avoid passing an uninitialized value to free_pool.
Free priv.runtime_map only when it was allocated.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-33619 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
